paper aeroplanes | poetry + prose

entropy

inhaling the fumes of reality 

slowing getting high on the pain and loss of life 

im losing control 

ha ha ha 

but i like it 

your smile, it drags along my skin 

in swirls so deep and longing

i got hurt before 

but now im simply drowning 

in the depths of ancient promises 

filling my lungs willingly for all i know 

can i escape it 

the bitter chains of what came before 

entice me into the abyss 

that smile, it drags within my memory 

but it never reached your eyes 

ah how many people i would 

take off the face of the earth to hear you 

whisper in my ear once again

because those lies became my reality 

and those sweet everythings became my addictive pain

your fingertips took me places beyond the realms of consciousness

the savour of the sublime at the tip of my tongue

the experiences had when a soul is too young

i want you to slowly encompass me until there's nothing left

cover me like volcanic ash on the island of intoxication

that smile, it whisked me away into a utopian dystopia

where we could manifest in our passion and possession

until the damage had left beautiful ruins of once was majestic

deeper

deeper

deeper

into chaos

can i escape it

do i want to?
